Use Larry's N8LP LP-Bridge to intermediate: http://www.telepostinc.com/LPB.html
I had been using it prior to getting my P3, so I could share HRD or N1MM with the PowerSDR/IF program and Larry's LP-Pan, and never had any AGC issues with the K3. When I dropped usage of Larry's LP-Pan for the P3, I tried running HRD 'bare' with the K3, and found pretty quickly that was a no-go. I found that if I launch LP-Bridge first, then connect HRD via LP-Bridge, I haven't had any issues. LP-Bridge caches the K3 state and hands it out to all comers, including HRD. Apparently, LP-Bridge is not fazed by HRD's manhandling. I tried to discuss HRD's fast polling rate on a local repeater one day after week, and was essentially told to go pound sand. There seems to be a *lot* of HRD apologists out there... 73, -- Dave, N8SBE > -------- Original Message -------- > Subject: Re: [Elecraft] K3: Firmware 4.48 release - stable, in use? > From: N5GE <li...@n5ge.com> > Date: Thu, March 29, 2012 8:19 am > To: John K3TN <jpescat...@aol.com> > Cc: elecraft@mailman.qth.net > > > No problems that I'm aware of and I've used it since it was beta. > > I'm a retired IT developer so I understand your feelings about beta stuff, but > I've never had a problem with the K3 betas.
